Scott Armstrong

There’s not a day and barely an hour that Leslie and I don’t think about this. All we can do is press on and try to make a positive contribution from our experience.

— Scott Armstrong

Scott tells people that he has two children, a three-and-a-half-year-old son and an 18-month-old daughter. Scott and Leslie's son, Tucker, however, contracted cancer when he was 27 months old. Before finally losing his battle to cancer, Tucker and his family were awarded a final wish from the Make a Wish Foundation.

Through all the crushing pain and grief, Scott and Leslie recalled the joy that Make a Wish brought to their family in their darkest hour. Scott came up with the idea of Stache" Stache Armstrong." Scott would grow an outrageous moustache for as long as he and Leslie were able to raise funds in Tucker's name. He kept this up until they raised over $13,000 for Make a Wish, enough for two wishes, with a little extra on top.
